UV for large-scale wastewater reuse launched

A closed-vessel ultraviolet (UV) disinfection solution, optimized for large-scale wastewater
treatment plants, industrial and water reuse applications has been launched by Xylem.

The Wedeco LBX 850e system has been fully validated according to the US Environmental
Protection Agency's UV Disinfection Guidance Manual and the National Water Research
Institute guidelines by Carollo Engineers.

While validation is the norm for drinking water treatment systems, it is relatively rare for
wastewater solutions. Wedeco launched the first UVDGM compliant vessels for wastewater
applications in 2010.

Dr Bertrand Dussert, global UV business manager at Xylem said, "To further extend its
capacity range, Xylem will launch the LBX 1500e this autumn 2013. Along with the
LBX 850e this new system will strengthen our portfolio in the higher flow rate ranges and
meet an increasing demand for large-scale water reuse projects."
